Getting kind of pissed off now...

Why the hell is it everytime I log on to Blogger, i can never upload pics...so freaking irritating!!! Ahh!!! Its way too early to get pissed off man. Gonna meet Fad and maybe Joanna later to go exercise. Apparently, my intuition and cosmic factors are pushing me to go for it from my tarot cards. Today's gonna be not so smooth day for me i guess. Haha...

Well anyway, last Thurs i went to Popeye Chicken for the FIRST TIME at T3. Wow..and it tasted great. Had so much fun and time to unwind there. Really felt the hunger pangs when waiting for friends to break fast. Man...they seriously had it tough. Could barely hold back my saliva when I saw other people devouring their chicken. >.< really require alot of discipline. You guys rock!

The chicken there is seriously better than KFC. Taste better and it doesn't have that chicken smell when you eat into it. Plus, their fries and mash potatoes are delicious!!! Kia!!! Going crazy thinking abt. Seriously, if you haven't eaten it, GO NOW!!! Take a cab and fly there down now!!! Apparently, I'm like the only kid in Singapore who hasn't eaten Popeye chicken =.= and everyone's been rubbing it in my face...well too bad! I've eaten it now ^^ and I'm a loyal fan now...lol

Joanna bought little Fayren too ^^ . Not sure if name spelt correctly but its her cute and super genius little bro. Kinda overhyperactive for my liking though but hey he's a boy. Plus, they're at the age where the heart has no fear and energy is boundless. Lol..wish i go back to that age. Really had fun playing and disturbing him..haha!Kept dancing on the table.

Kinda wonder if i would ever want kids in the future. Is it so important to have one? I guess it should really depend on our financial situation and love for one another. If not, NO KIDS!!! Lol. Seeing Joanna so busy feeding him already make me so worried to have one. Cuz i got no patience to do it. Will I be those kind of dependent on maid kind of mothers in the future? So much that my kid thinks the maid is their mom? Lol...poor kid...

Yay! Got mango sago and pandan kueh from Joanna too. Kinda interesting to eat it though..lol...both were my first time eating them. Actually not bad...esp since she made it for the first time too. Hmm..maybe next time must force her to bring her choco cheesecake as well..haha...that one i seriously want to try.

Went out with my family yesterday too. Went to this place called ILUMA. Quite an interesting place. Seriously super empty but the food there is great. Apparently, Waraku Pasta opened up there. And we ate like...ALOT! Ate so much that guilt is all i feel right now >.< Plus! My uncle said i look slimmer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My uncle whose eyes aren't as superb as they used to be said i looked slimmer!!! Yes!!! Woohoo!!! All i gotta do now is lose 20kg more and I'll reach my ideal weight ^^ Bought super cute maroon coloured sunglasses ^^ so did my aunt and mom. Haha..super cute la..the way they give fashion advice to one another. Than my cousin bought the last white cap they have with a crystal button. I wanted it T.T.....so sad...but each item costs $15. Price not so bad for caps and sunglasses. Overall, ILUMA isn't that bad ba..its in Bugis area...just that there's alot of redundant space plus, its super cold >.<

Oh ya!!! Forgot to tell you guys. I sat through SEA first 360degrees 3D movie!!! MUAHAHAHA!!!! My cuz and i sat for this Aqua World screening for 10min for $5. Wow...super scary leh!!! The stupid sharks and dolphins kept attacking us. And its like super upclose lor!!! You know how theatres often show 3D movies that come close to you but at least 10m away? This show is totally different. I was like screaming with my cuz when we watched it. Luckily i didn't manage to talk anyone into watching the ROOM with me. Its suppose to be a haunted house tour screening. I would have died from heart attack X.X

Lol..quite an exciting weekend overall^^ seriously, can't wait for the next one...

Need to lose weight....

Wow..I seriously need to lose weight. For the past few days, every channel I turn to on the Discover Channel Healthy Living something and Style network, its been nothing but lose weight lose weight. Seriously...there was like so many health and losing weight tips. And I suspect, its because of the THE BIGGEST LOSER show. Seriously, its like Survivor and Boot Camp all joined together. Just caught a few eps the other day, and it eally changed my perspective.

But 0f course, while they do it for the benefit of ones health, I'm planning to lose mine for the sake of beauty =.= sounds so bimbo when I say it...hiaz....

So for the next few months, you will see your dear Ras, doing these weird things to lose weight:

1) Drinking excessively (its water not liquor..so put down that bottle!)
2) Eating with my left hand (suppose to make you eat slower)
3)Go for more evening jogs
4)Get my gym membership after my SIP ^^
5)Take up dance lessons with friends
6) Learning Driving(I'm changing to maunal so yeah...gonna develop muscles from all the clutches)


Well wish me luck, provided that I can survive through all of this..o.O"

Unveiling my secret......

Hey there,

Just tot that it would be fun to to reveal my number 1 Beauty Secret that I would never tell my enemies, even if they begged me ^^

One of my facial pros is that I have a fair face ^^ yay! But tan body.

Ever want a moisturizer that doesn't give you an oily feel or a layer on your skin when you go out or sleep?

look no more!!!

Dewy Effect Emulsion
Its really light and made from cucumbers!!! Cooling for your skin as well.

Now...the only whitening beauty product I trust, is............
...............
...............
...............
...............

True White Vitamin Powder
TADAH!!!!

Seriously, just pat some on each night, and you'll be fairer instantly!!!
Unfortunately, putting it on by itself is very drying for your skin. So to combat this, use both products!

Dewy Effect EmulsionTrue White Vitamin Powder

Yay! So now you know ^^


FAQ:
Q:Why don't you just use the their other whitening products?

A: Cuz the others are oilier for me which I dont like >.< and it doesn't give the same effect for me.

Q: How long does it take to see effective results?

A:For me, it took overnight to see significant difference. But results should vary between a week?


Thanks ^^

Another heart aching moment...

Just the other day, I was watching a re run of this Lindsay Lohan movie, Georgia Rules. It was actually nice really. Beyond my expectations. Lol. I'm not a LL hater but I kinda find her acting skills abit over dramatic and attention seeking in the past. From Disney films to hooker films? What exactly is she trying to proof? Well anyway, her role in this film has definitely shown a very mature and different side of her.

The story is about a girl(LL) who was sexually asaulted by her step father since she was 12. To avoid any further assault, she ran away to her grandmother. Leaving her mother(Felicity Huffman) behind, confused between the whispers of her husband's poisoned words and the pleas from her daughter. To resolve this, she went back home to her hometown to find her daughter. Along the way, finding out the strengths in herself when she meets her mother whom she left behind to marry " a man with a nice car".

Lol..for me to tell you the whole story, would be an equivalent of a book but yet, I hope there is such a book. In one's life, there are many struggles, many obstacles as well as many secrets we pick up along the way. So whats left behind each time? A tear? Empty bottles of alcohol? Lies we sprout all around? or a piece of our heart?

Many people always say, they have a hole in their hearts that need to be filled. Either by love or lust. But truth is, I don't really believe there is a hole. But rather a heart like a cocoon.

Lol why's that right? Well, everytime we give up our goals, meet a heartbreaker, lose a friend, a layer of that cocoon is torn off, revealing a soft and vulnerable being within it. And in order to protect itself, it reproduces a harder exterior. Same like hearts. Nobody is born with a hard heart. In fact, its really a soft and beautiful matter.

But as time an sorrows ravages it, it learns to be harder. Finally one day, it becomes so hard that no one can rip anything off it. Sometimes so hard, that the being inside it, can't even come out.

Sometimes I wonder, how hard is my heart. And how much harder can it become. So hard that I die in the inside? or just hard enough for me to struggle through and breakout as a beautiful butterfly(to learn what true happiness is)?

R a s b e r r y


Miss Rachel

there's nothing wrong with my name.

If you think you know me, read my blog and think again.

I'm imperfect and I'm Lovin' It.

I'm the only witness and the only person who can judge my life.



|Midnight Tears||

Song from a Secret Garden


||Melancholy||

Today I've learn't a new word. Melancholy.

A word that describes the emptiness that echoes in me for the past few years.

A feeling of despair and constant mild depression that cannot be explained or cured by medicine.

A state of mind that I have been trapped in for so long.

And thus today, I'll let you into my world. A
nd we'll see, if we share a melancholy melody

or noises of 2 completely different beats
